Hi, I received a wonderful SS box yesterday in the mail and got pics today, I want to thank Kelly in Mt., TheMamaHauser! It is wonderful and so full of goodies, just like Christmas. I hope she likes hers as much as I like mine.

Default Got my goodies today! :-)

I received my awesome package from Shawnna today! She sent me a beautiful embroidered block, FQs in my fav colors, a very pretty pin cushion, 3 different color threads, a nail file, a lovely quilters pocket calendar, a fancy needle threader, a pretty flower, 3 of my favorite candies (between my husband, son and myself they are all gone!) and a lovely note. Thanks so much Shawnna, I love everything. There are three pics below. The last pic is the needle threader because it wasn't pictured in the first pic (it got lost under the fabric) and I wanted to show how pretty it is and the second is a close up of the lovely embroidered block.

All of you are making me very envious. Went to the PO today and had a box. I thought ooooooh my turn opened it and it was full of baby boy clothes. Postmaster gave it to the wrong person, ME, oh my Lord at 66 yrs. I would pray I did not have a brand new baby boy!!!!Maybe tomorrow, I will be very patient now....promise.

I received a fabulous package in the mail today. I was so excited and even more so once I opened the package. I got red, white, and blue material that I love, a quilting book for beginners (which I am), a quilters magazine, lovely star buttons, a kleenex holder, a needle bag for my cross stitch needles (woo hoo) a seam ripper (never can have too many), a tape measure, and my absolute favorite, a turtle quilt pattern. This is going to be my winter project! Thank you so much Gail Brown, it is much appreciate. You made my day!

Hi!!
I saw the Turtle quilting pattern you received, & boy, am I jealous!!!! I was wondering if you could send me the ordering information off of the pattern so that I can get one for a close friend of mine who LOVES turtles?? The info should be on the back of the pattern. I'd truly appreciate your efforts. Thanks ever so much!!!

Linda - I had an earlier post much the same. My parcels are small too, but I do put a lot of thought in to them as I'm sure you do. We seem to have this debate quite a lot on here - size/quantity does not matter. If it's me, I certainly won't be disappointed, whatever is in the box. Postage is so expensive I'd be happy with just stash and used items as well as anything handmade, if they have the time. My recent SP spent $19.25 on postage alone so that alone is more than enough!

I received my lovely package today from Verna 2197 What a super great wonderful package! She sent me so many cool items, let me see if I can do it justice. She made the cutes green mug rug, I love it! it is going to look great on my dining table And the pink batiks so cute, I love the panel "Precious Memories" by Martha Pullen. It will be perfect for some of the memory quilts I make. she sent me a doggy Calendar, so cute, a pocket calculator, magic markers, a cute little tea time pillow with a bag of tea, and some tea to go,a pair of scissors some thread for hand stitching, a cute little box with some stick on roses, and a cute little strawberry needle threader, a Quilting magazine that has a pattern in it that I have been searching for!.... And Twizzlers... which almost caused great distress in my home as my husband found them and hid them from me! LOL, he can be such a stinker at times~

OK here are your pictures[ATTACH=CONFIG]355394[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]355395[/ATTACH] the mug rug does not have white patches in it the light when I took the picture was shining through the window and made shadows.
